TAHLEouAu witness before the
Fort Smith corrt, aud Tahlequah
prisoner on trial for dealing in bug
juice:
"You will state whether or
not you ever bought any whisky Of
this wcman.n
"Well, l went to where she lives,
and told her wanted to get just a
quart, and"
"What did she do2"
"Well, she said, thar's the ram
rod"
"What did she do then2"
"Well, she only said, 'thar's the
ram-rod."
"Did she get the whisky for your"
"She only said 'thar's the ram
rod"
"What did she mean by saying,
'thar's the ram-rod 2"
Don't know; she just said
'thar's the ram-rod.'"
The fellow who reported this
said the last thing he heard as he
went on after his turnkey, was,
";har's.the ram-rod," and supposes
the witness stuck to his text.

YE WHO have been correspond
ents of the CHIEFTAIN during the
political canvass of the country,
what have ye TO say to the charge
Of personal vilifcation of a can
didate for chief? What defense
have ye to mlko2 Stand up and
hear your sentence. Ye are ar
ranged before tie public, by the
Advocate, for having permitted
yourselves to be made tools of to
destroy the nation and-for down
ing a corrupt administration.
What have ye to say2 depart
from me, ye workers Of iniquity."
Hide your ungodly heads in your
holes and come forth only when
the bat and the owl shall be your
companions, for fear Of the virtu-
ous indignation and sanity rebuke
Of the awful "we" ofthe Advocate.
Ye are a lot Of fools, and each one
OF you ought to be compelled TO
"write a book" or run a paper, as
a punishment, even if it be the
Advocate.

The last issue Of the Advocate
goes for the CurEFTAIN and its ed
itor in { way that is seemingly
intended to annihilate things at
one stroke. Its editor speaks
from the abundance ofhis own ma
ture when he uses to characterize
the CHIEFTAIN's editor, "extraor-
dinary ability to lie, an entire alb
sence of conscience and extreme
moral deprivaty" The gentle
man(9) should wear his own shoes,
and not try to make the public
believe that they will fit anyone
as well as they do him. He'll not
succeed where he is known.
His farcical innocence, as TO how
he gained control of the Advocate,
is but one Of his numerous accom-
plishments in putting on fair out
side appearances. He don't want
TO recollect that only few months
after his election an old fellow,
whom he somehow had offended,
came to Tahlequah and wanted
someone t. write out charges of
bribery against the Advocates ed
itor, and whoa asked if he could
prove the charge and could pro-
duce The man who had been bribed,
he replied, "Oh yes, Pm the man."
Having been told that he was in
the same pot with the one that
bribed him, and advised to go
home and keep his mouth shut, he
did as he was advised. The un-
kindest cut of all is his fling at the
surmised aspiration of the CHIEF
TAIN's editor to be president ofthe
United States. That was a lick
from the shoulder, and the merit
of originality and application
should be put down to his credit.
Especially is this so when the pos
sibility Of one who is not a citizen
of the United States to be presi- =
dent. This cannot be said of the
Advocate man. He never aims a
"trihe too high" for his ability.
Like Gloster, he has resolved and
accomplished. Once by mistake
he took part in exposing the crook
edness of the administration in
the lease of the strip lands and Of
the 22,500 fee, by getting copies
Of the proceedings of the May term
Of the council of 1888, which were
sent to the investigating committee
of congress. He repented OF his
action and was received back into
the bosom of the administration
where he is now reposing.
Perhaps the Advocates editor
would like to be treasurer--if he
can get there. "It would be so
handy"

BUFFALO Bill and his Wild West

Much stress is put upon the part
the white adopted citizens of the
country took in the late election,
as though they had no right to ex-
ercise any choice in selecting the
chief who should rule over them.
No apprehension seems TO be feared
that the interference and interest
in the election of Bunch to the
chieftaincy by the strip leasers and
tho white residents of Muskogee
and elsewhere, will ever come to
light. That's nothing and means
nothing. It is merely a manifesto
ticn Of their love for Bunch and
the strip lands.

THE CITIZENSHIP COURT.

Anyone who will visit the com.
mission during business hours, es-
pecially when some unusual case
is up for investigation, will be con-
vinced at once that all concerned
are fully able to perform the du-
ties imposed. While there is
anxious concern TO protect the
nation and themselves from impo.
sitiOn, there is no factious opposi-
tion to those who clearly prove
themselves to be of Cherokee de-
scent. AS it is not right to prose-
cute a person innocent Of ofiense,
so it is with the attorney for the
nation not to oppose any claim to
citizenship further than is neces-
sary for a complete showing OF
the case.
In the proceedings and the man.
ner Of the commission in dispos-
ing Of claims no appearance of
impatience, nor taint of prejudice
can be detected. Every opportu-
nifty TO present claims fully is not
only allowed but Encouraged, so
determined is the court to do JUS
tice to all. This disposition, con-
nected a..A an easy apprehension
Of the merits of any claim and cor
rect judgement, no one need go
away aggrieved at the courts action.
Some rather difficult cases have
been and are before the commits
sion-the Prather and Flippin.
The former occupied much of the
courts attention last week, listen
ing TO and deciding upon motions
offered and argued. The two
Boudinots, father and son, and Mr..
Bell, Of Yinita, were on part ofthe
defense. Judge WHY, for the na-
ton, opposed by what is consider
ed the array Of the best legal tai
lent of the country, was all that
was needed. He was careful not
TO expose the points Of his argu-
ment, when the case was submit
ted for final action, but simply
outlined the course he would take.
In this there was no unfairness,
because the merits of the case
rested in the proof that no fraud
had been practiced. intentional or
otherwise, in securing citize nship
for the Prathers. The only
course left for the defense to take
was to strengthen by argument the
proof they had that no fraud had
been practiced.
The case is yet undecided.
The Flippin examination is be-
fore the commission, and SO far,
is a dirty case. Ifjudgement is to
be shaped, as it surely will be, by
the evidence Of fraud already ad-
duced and by that which can be,
there can be but little hope that
they will remain citizens much
longer.
This case and the main points Of
the evidence will be reported next
week.

THE noted Cole Younger, one Of
Missouri's favorite sons, who is
serving a life sentence in the Still
water (Minn.) penitentiary, has
become a printers devil IN the
prison. 1t makes little difference
in what direction he puts forth his
efforts, the term devil is sure to
follow him to the grave. Some
thing might be said of his brothers,
Jim and Bob, who are also in the
pcnitentiary, but, perhaps, in a
more complimentary manner-Jim
is q lawyer and Bob a doctor.

consolation to another wing Of the

General Disappointment Caused by the COM
neutrality-suspicious. on the Situation.
Yesterdays unexpected turn in the course of
the legislative struggle, brought about by the
compromise agreement between the Republican
and Democratic members of the General Assem-
bly,, by which usurper Smith was allowed to act
presiding officer of the Senate during the ses
sion of the joint convention, was. to say the
least, great surprise to the public generally.
The announcement that such an agreement
had been reached was received by
Republicans with evident disappointment, and
general expressions of dsapproval. About thu
streets and hotels the comments upon The ac-
ton were anything bat commendatory, and the
prevailing feeling of dissatisfaction was intensi-
fed by the boasts of Democrats that the com
promise placed them on top in the fight on the
question to who should preside over the con-
vention
There were no formal political caucuses last
night. Both parties Lying their oars, "
and waiting patiently for q favorable tide. The
Democrats were jubilant the result of yes
terdays proceedings. They still have hope that
Robinson will come to them within a day or two,
and IN order to give him thorough test. will
make no other moves for a few days at
least He was uncommunicative last night,
but ventured to say, 81 may as we'll count on
the Democrats coming to me, as for them to de-
pend on me going to them" In case it seems
there is no possibility of Robinson voting for Tur-
pie. new man will probably be put forward who
